Claiming Her Back

Chapter 178

“What’s up?” Jessica asked, not wanting to dwell on the subject.

Jessica suddenly felt a headache and could not help but raise her hand to rub her forehead.

“Are you drunk?”

Terry, who was next to her, asked. Jessica glanced at him and nodded. “A little. I had a glass of freshly

made fruit cocktail,” Jessica said.

“Give me your hand,” Terry said.

Terry helped Jessica to the door. Jessica looked at the palm that Terry had reached out to her and

hesitated.

But before Jessica made up her mind, Terry had already pulled her hand and pressed her index finger

against the doorknob.

With a beep, the door opened. Then Terry pushed the door open and helped Jessica in.

“Just sit here,” Terry said.

Jessica was taken to the sofa, and she tilted her head to look at Terry, who was walking toward the

kitchen.

Terry was slowly undoing the cufflinks of his shirt.

The muscles on Terry’s forearms were even more burly and more beautiful than some fitness trainers’.

Jessica wondered whether it was appropriate to stare at a man’s forearms like that.

While she was lost in her thoughts, Terry came out with a glass of water. ‘Take some water, and you

won’t feel sick in your stomach tomorrow.”

Jessica reached out to take the water, but Terry didn’t let go. As a result, her hand was placed on

Terry’s.

Jessica quickly retracted her hand and said, “Sorry.”

Terry just smiled and said, “Don’t move around. The fruit cocktail is actually quite strong. It will cause a

headache.”

Terry was right, Jessica did have a bad headache now.

However, Jessica would not lose her mind when she was drunk. Instead, Jessica was very conscious.

She just had a terrible headache and didn’t feel like moving.

After drinking half a glass of water, Jessica shook her head and asked, “Why did you come to me?”

“I just want to see you,” Terry replied.

Terry put the remaining water on the table. Jessica looked at the glass of water and somewhat did not

know what to say.

After a while, Jessica moved a little and said, “I’m going to get some rest, Terry.”

The wine was so strong that Jessica didn’t bother to chat with Terry.

“Wait a minute.” Terry got up and walked to the entrance, taking out a document from his bag. Then he

placed it in front of Jessica and said, “That’s what I got.”

Jessica glanced at Terry picked up the folder, and flipped it open. Then she saw what was written on

the document. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

A week ago, 300,000 dollars was transferred to Judy’s account for an unknown reason.

At the same time of the same day, Bob’s bank account also received 500,000 dollars.

However, just yesterday, the money in Bob’s account was transferred to another account again.

This was indeed suspicious, and the other finding below was even more suspicious.

Just 10 days ago, Grace and Judy met at a coffee shop, and the next day, Judy had dinner with Jerry.

Jessica still remembered Jerry. He was the one who helped Olivia frame her last time.

When Jessica saw this, the smile on her face had completely faded.

Jessica looked up at Terry and asked, “So what happened has something to do with Olivia?”

Terry smiled and replied, “Yes, it must have something to do with Olivia. As I said before, Lucas is a

rigorous guy. It is difficult for ordinary people to lay their hands on him.”

In fact, even if Terry didn’t tell her, Jessica had already guessed it.

Jessica felt so disgusted, as if she had stepped on a pile of shit.

Terry saw that Jessica did not speak again, and the smile on his face faded, “Lucas might not know

about this.”

Hearing what Terry said, Jessica collected her thoughts, but her look was still cold. “It doesn’t matter

whether Lucas knows it or not,” Jessica said.

Jessica thought, ‘Whether Lucas knows it or not, he and Olivia are both members of the Thomas

family, and the two of them are siblings.

What’s more, Lucas is not a fool. Olivia has plotted to frame him, so how can’t he find out the truth if he

has someone investigate it?

As a man with sharp senses, how could Lucas miss the link?

It is impossible.

Lucas must have known everything.

Terry, who had been extremely nervous, felt relieved the moment he heard Jessica’s words.

Terry pursed his lips and looked at Jessica with some expectation and some restraint in his amorous

eyes. “Do you need any help?” Terry asked.

Jessica closed the document and smiled at Terry. “Thank you, Terry. This is between me and Lucas. I

don’t want you to get involved.”

The light in Terry’s eyes dimmed a lot, but he soon recovered, and said, “All right.”

Then, Terry looked at his watch and said, “I still have a meeting tomorrow, so I’ve got to go now.”

Jessica smiled and nodded, “I’ll walk you out.”
